Chapter 238 Shadow in the Corridor
After hearing what Hiroki said, Ayumi and the others became even more frightened and asked at a loss, "Then what should we do?"

Upon hearing this, Hiroki looked at Ze Yu, waiting for his opinion.

After all, Hiroki has always been led by Sawaha.

"Xiao Yu, do you have any clues?" Conan pushed his glasses that reflected white light and asked, "Or, more directly... do you know who that person is?"

"What do you think?" Ze Yu asked back, then turned around with a smile: "Anyway, let's leave here first."

"Yeah." Conan nodded.

In fact, there was one thing Ze Yu didn't tell them.

The reason why the dummy was hidden behind the curtain was because Ze Yu did a small trick this afternoon when no one was paying attention after school.

Originally, the mannequin was standing upright against the wall, covered with a white cloth. It was Ze Yu who lifted the white cloth and moved it behind the curtain.

It is precisely because of this that when people go to the health room at night to look for the dummy, they cannot find it.

In the end, it was Ze Yu who revealed the hiding place of the dummy himself.

And this scene was seen by someone hiding in the dark.

As for that person's identity...

Ze Yu just smiled slightly and didn't care.

…………

After a while...

The members of the Junior Detective Team walked together in the corridor, chatting as they walked.

A dark shadow emerged from the back of the corridor, poked its head around the corner, and looked at them quietly.

Haibara Ai suddenly stopped, frowned slightly, and turned back thoughtfully.

Sensing Haibara Ai's gaze, the black shadow quickly retracted its head and disappeared.

At the same time, Hiroki and Conan also turned around and looked at the back of the corridor with serious expressions.

"Conan, did you find out too?" Although Hiroki's face was serious, there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He and Conan have a good understanding of each other.

If it weren't for the fact that Haibara Ai's intuition was a little stronger than theirs, in the scene just now, all three of them should have turned around at the same time.

"Well, someone is spying on us." Conan said, narrowed his eyes, and immediately chased after him.

Everyone quickly followed.

Every time something like this happens, Conan is always the first to rush forward, as if nothing can scare him.

In other words, Conan's detective instinct suppressed his inner fear, which made him so impulsive.

As soon as he saw the black shadow, he chased after it without thinking whether he could defeat the opponent or whether he would end up being killed.

Fortunately, Conan is the protagonist. If he were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago if he was so reckless.

But could his recklessness and impulsiveness have anything to do with Ze Yu?

After all, Ze Yu has always been by Conan's side, which may have given him enough confidence, so he appears so brave and fearless.

But even so, excluding the factor of Ze Yu, Conan himself is not a cautious person. He can easily lose his temper and do some dangerous things.

For example, following a man in black and then getting hit from behind...

"Conan, aren't you afraid of anything?" Ze Yu followed Conan closely and asked softly.

He seemed to have rarely seen Conan scared. Even in his photo album, there were relatively few photos of Conan being scared. "Yes, for example, Xiaolan's mother, and..." Conan said without hesitation: "You."

"Me? What do I have to be afraid of?" Ze Yu was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise.

"Have you forgotten? When we first met, you really electrified me." Recalling the scene at that time, Conan grinned, looking helpless.

He will never forget the feeling of electric current rushing through his body, and every time he thinks back on it, the memory is still fresh in his mind.

"Of course I won't forget it." Ze Yu said with some nostalgia: "Those are wonderful memories..."

"I don't think that kind of memory can be called 'beautiful'." Conan raised his eyelids and could only say 'hehe'.

As soon as he finished speaking, Conan stopped because they had reached the end of the corridor.

But there was no one here.

"Is there no one here?"

"Conan, could you be seeing things?"

Ayumi and the other two couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"It's impossible to be wrong." Hiroki explained for Conan: "College student Huiyuan and I also discovered that someone was indeed spying on us just now."

Conan frowned, pointed at a mass of white fog above the window, and asked, "Ayumi, do you know what this is?"

"What is this...?" Ayumi blinked.

Conan was about to answer when Ze Yu interrupted, "This is the trace left by breathing. Someone just put his face against this window and looked at us."

"Ha..." Hearing his words, Ayumi and the other two opened their mouths wide, grinning foolishly, and cold sweat continued to flow down their faces.

It's like being scared silly.

"Okay, stop laughing so happily." Ze Yu asked, "What do you think we should do now?"

"Should we call the police?" Haibara Ai suggested.

"No, we should call the security guard first, right? I remember there are security guards in this school." Hiroki said, "If the security guards can't solve this problem, we can call the police."

"If you want to make a phone call, there's one inside the office." Mitsuhiko opened the office door and slipped in.

"Why is the office door not locked?" Conan pondered.

"The reason is very simple, because the person hiding in the dark is the one who usually stays in the office." Ze Yu glanced at Conan and walked into the office.

"Someone in the office? Do you mean the dean?" Conan repeated in confusion, and hurried to catch up.

…………

Everyone walked into the office, closed the door, turned on the lights, and made a phone call.

But the call was never connected.

"Why didn't anyone answer the phone? Did something happen to the guard?" Mitsuhiko was a little worried: "Should we go to the guard room to check?"

"No, I think that guy is drunk again." Conan rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "This security guard has been like this for a long time."

"Conan, how do you know what happened in the past?" Ayumi asked curiously.

After he finished speaking, Haibara Ai and Sawaha cast questioning looks at Conan, expressing their distrust.

Are you reliable, kid?
Why did you let it slip again?
"Ha..." Conan said embarrassedly: "This is what Xiaolan told me."

He couldn't tell Ayumi that he had known that unreliable security guard when he was in elementary school in this school, right?
